...not a new tv series but rather a quirky thought I had tonight reading through various threads...As I wander through various forums on DU, I find certain posters that basically, I just don't like...if they are confrontational in one forum-they are confrontational on all...or supercilious, or nasty, or snarky, or etc. etc. etc. Wherever they go they spread-well, I can best describe it as non-cheer...So what if like "Survivor" we could vote one of them off one a week-every week the person voted "most annoying" out of our lives just like a spouse in a no fault divorce.Those voted off could immediately reregister with a new screen name but would lose their post count and seniority. Not a death sentence but rather the judgment of the commons...neither would it be punitive since they could immediately return-more like a peer driven censure designed to promote future civility...anyway, it amused me as an idea-what do other posters think?

5. I haven't been registered here very long, but I've lurked for quite a while...

and I've noticed that there are some cliques. And it seems that they might make people that they disagree with personal projects, which would make that particular persons DU experience a lot like "Groundhog Day". I remember watching something like this play out when the Mods enhanced the block feature a while back. People were using it to settle scores and respond to real or imagined slights. I think it's an interesting idea, but the possibility of mob rule might make implementing it with any sort of fairness fairly difficult. But, then again, I'm a new guy, so what the hell do I know?
